Chapter 2254 - 2254: Real Life

Thus, Liu Zhizhong followed the wishes of the Zhang Family, transferring to Shunping County Second People's Hospital, where he lay for a long time, waiting for death as a vegetative person.

Such a lonely genius is truly quite pitiful.

For a genius like him, some classmates should have come to visit, but under the pressure from the Zhang Family, not a single person came.

The Zhang Family simply spread the word: He's in a vegetative state, our Zhang Family is responsible for his treatment.

When he dies, the Zhang Family will burn his body and collect his remains.

After all, Liu Zhizhong couldn't find his parents and had no assets, like a person who lost connection with the world.

He is alive, considered alive, dead considered dead, with no attachments.

As for Zhang Xiaoyang receiving criminal penalties, how could that be possible?

The doctor and Yang Xiang said, Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Xiaoyang only had a little altercation after drinking alcohol, Zhang Xiaoyang's actions were unconscious and did not warrant criminal responsibility, but civilly, the Zhang Family actively took responsibility, what else could be done?

On the night of the incident, no one even called the police.

As a result, in the two years since transferring to Shunping County, Liu Zhizhong just lay there quietly.

The hospital could only do what was expected anyway, after all, the Zhang Family was paying. And the money from the Zhang Family was really not just a little.

The medication and treatment for vegetative persons mostly can't be covered by medical insurance, very expensive, the hospital was happy to profit.

Alright, this is the real Liu Zhizhong.

However, in these two years, Nurse Yang Xiang's boyfriend Zhao Hong listened to an officialdom novel, coincidentally the novel's protagonist was also named Liu Zhizhong.

Zhao Hong recalled, wasn't this Liu Zhizhong a transfer student from the City Organization Department, destined to enter officialdom? Hence, he played the audiobook version of the novel whenever he had time for Liu Zhizhong to listen to.

As for Zhao Hong, he was originally Liu Zhizhong's attending doctor, quite young. His idea was simple, using sound waves to stimulate Liu Zhizhong, hoping this vegetative person could live a little longer.

In this way, it also became Zhao Hong's research topic.

However, Zhao Hong went to a hospital in the Provincial City for training half a year ago. The attending doctor was replaced by a fat guy with glasses.

Who would have thought that Zhao Hong's therapy actually had some effect, and Liu Zhizhong woke up?

Once the situation was fully understood, Liu Zhizhong finally comprehended everything.

A faint trace of bitterness passed over his face, as he glanced out the window.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on the towering camphor tree, casting mottled shadows.

Cicadas screamed from the trees, competing in bursts to see whose sound was louder.

No home, no house, no relatives, yet being hurt into a vegetative state, this is life, this is reality.

And he completely understood now, the content in his mind was just a novel after all.

Novel Liu Zhizhong, how could he be like me, Liu Zhizhong?

The character in the novel had accomplished success, was a young political genius, had accomplished it all without attachment to power!

Yet in the past two years, the content Liu Zhizhong heard from the novel seemed vividly engraved in his mind, unforgettable.

The officialdom struggles depicted inside, the human interactions and social norms, seemed to really have happened, and truly it was as if he, Liu Zhizhong, had done those things.

Even Liu Zhizhong felt that he was influenced by the novel's character, seeming to have matured considerably in thought, wholly unlike a 25-year-old mind he should possess.

As if he had seen through the world, seen through life.

Nurse Yang Xiang said: "Hey, Liu Zhizhong classmate, things are just like this. Take good rest now, your body is still very weak, discuss things after a few days!"

The doctor with the fat glasses said: "It's time to supplement nutrition, to adjust the liquid diet and such. Later on, our hospital still has to contact Director Zhang."

"Director Zhang?" Liu Zhizhong paused, "Oh, haha… are you talking about Zhang Xiaoyang?"

"Yes, that's right! He's now the deputy director of the Shunping County Committee office, young and promising!"

Liu Zhizhong was startled, quickly regaining composure, "Oh, he must be 29 years old now, the Zhang Family's power in this city is immense, surely deserving of such a position, haha..."

He smiled with a touch of bitterness.

Thinking about it, now that I've woken up, I should still be a transfer student of the City Organization Department, right? By then, work should be arranged?

But… haha, Zhang Xiaoyang, knowing I'm awake, surely you'll not be too happy?

The doctor nodded and smiled, "Yes, the Young Master is quite formidable! But I wonder, Liu Zhizhong classmate, how did you have a conflict with him?"

Liu Zhizhong gave a bitter smile, shook his head, "It's best not to talk about it. Doctor Wang, Nurse Yang, thank you both. Could you leave me for a bit? I want to be alone; although I've been quiet for over two years, I especially need some peace now."

His unique sense of humor did not resemble a 25-year-old young man, quite interesting indeed.

Doctor Wang Tian and Nurse Yang Xiang smiled upon hearing this, finding it quite amusing, they agreed to give him some space.

But Liu Zhizhong added, "Please, do not notify Director Zhang Xiaoyang for now, about me waking up."

"Oh, alright! When should we notify then?"

Liu Zhizhong pondered briefly, "I want to restore my body and then discuss it! Looking like some human-shaped skeleton, even I find myself chilling, mustn't scare Director Zhang."

The two laughed again, then agreed and exited the hospital room.

The hospital room quieted down, Liu Zhizhong lay back quietly, with some bitterness on his face.

Novels are not life; now this is the real life!

I, Liu Zhizhong, in this world, do I truly have any pursuits?

Parents?

Haha, back then heartlessly threw me at the welfare house gate in the small county on a cold winter's day.

Seek them?

For what meaning?

They could give birth to me but were unable to raise me, is such family affection still necessary?

What about a girlfriend?

Oh, haha... thinking about this brought some anger to Liu Zhizhong's face, feeling a sense of humiliation, but how can one do anything?

Two years ago, he hardly argued with Zhang Xiaoyang because of that shameless girlfriend?

Hopefully, now she's Zhang Xiaoyang's wife, the director's spouse. Haha, as she wished, an official's wife now, and being part of the Zhang Family, there wouldn't be a lack of luxury!

An enemy like Zhang Xiaoyang, haha… damn...

The humiliation he bestowed upon me, Liu Zhizhong, cannot be forgotten.

His family background is strong, but so what?

I, Liu Zhizhong, am still a transfer student from the City Organization Department, I bloody well still have a chance!

My university teacher, anyhow, was the deputy secretary of the university Party committee, now should still be the Deputy Mayor of Southeast City?

Alright, novels are not life, but it seems like the experiences of the Liu Zhizhong character were as if I personally lived them; I could understand the officialdom, understand how to act, how to climb, how to hit back at rivals.

That Zhang Xiaoyang, Young Master Zhang, let's play a little game? See if I can make the Zhang Family Clan submit?
